CMF Phone 2 Pro Review: Smartphone

An affordable phone that looks, feels, and runs better than it should.

Overall, the CMF Phone 2 Pro offers solid value at Rs 18,999, delivering a well-rounded experience for the price, especially in terms of performance and software. However, the single speaker and cameras fall short of expectations. That said, we expect Nothing to address the camera performance through future software updates, which should help improve things to some extent.

An affordable phone sequel with plenty of personality. The CMF Phone 2 Pro makes progress in all the right areas, while keeping the price in check. It’s a fantastic choice if you’re on a modest budget

It’s no Pro, but the CMF Phone 2 Pro has something even more interesting to offer

“The CMF Phone 2 Pro's fun design, unique software, great battery life, and interesting accessories make it stand out from the crowd, and the reasonable price means it represents great value.”

The CMF Phone 2 Pro is only $279 in the US, but don't let that fool you: it feels like it's worth twice that price. It has more innovation than most flagships these days, a big, beautiful display, a triple-camera setup on the back that includes a telephoto lens (!!), and has a longer update pledge than some $1,000+ phones receive. Granted, this isn't the phone for you if you live in the US, thanks to its missing band support and lack of access to accessories, but for everyone else, this is pretty stellar.

The CMF Phone 2 Pro comes at a true budget phone price but punches well above its weight with an excellent display, great build quality, competent camera system and Nothing's signature operating system.

The CMF Phone 2 Pro is easily the best midrange phone in Nepal right now. From its unique design to a clean software experience, a nice AMOLED display, and a dynamic camera experience with the segment's only telephoto lens, the Phone 2 Pro has a lot to love.

The CMF Phone 2 Pro builds on the success of its predecessor with a solid all-around package that thrives on its modular design, bright AMOLED display, and clean software experience. It may not live up to the ‘Pro’ branding in every department—especially the camera and audio—but it certainly pushes boundaries in terms of customizability and day-to-day performance for a sub-₹20,000 smartphone. If you value design innovation and a near-stock Android experience over sheer camera prowess, the CMF Phone 2 Pro offers great bang for your buck.

The CMF Phone 2 Pro stands out with its bold design, clean software, and vibrant display, making it ideal for Gen Z users. While it misses out on stereo speakers and top-tier performance, it nails the essentials at its price, offering solid value with a unique personality.The CMF Phone 2 Pro isn’t here to win spec wars. It’s here to make a statement. It’s definitely for the Gen Z crowd or anyone who wants a phone that looks different, feels fresh, and does all the essentials well.

The CMF by Nothing Phone 2 Pro is a budget phone with more value than you'd expect.

The CMF Phone 2 Pro once again highlights Nothing's ability to deliver outstanding budget phones. The phone has a fully sealed back this time, and as such, the back cover isn't detachable; that said, there's a new universal case that allows the use of accessories, and it is a good workaround. There are plenty of upgrades; you get a trio of cameras at the back, a flexible AMOLED with ultra-thin bezels, great battery life, and clean software with a unique design and customizability. If you need a budget phone in 2025, there really isn't anything else that gives you as good a value. Check Amazon
